The attention of our renders, nnil especially of our Editorial brethren, is rcpcctfully solicited lo a Circular from Waiihkn Jenkins, Esq., of this cily, nhich may be found in another column. We regard the work in which lie is engaged, as one of great interest to the politic generally; and from our own experience can testify, tint the task he has undertaken is arduous, and cannot be performed satisfactorily without the assistance and co-operation of well-informed nnd intelligent men in every part of the State. It is to be hoped, thercforo, that the citizens of any city or town from which no information shall he received, will find no fault with the forth coming Volume should those places be overlooked, or improperly noticed. As it is desirable that the immense resources, and giant strides, of this great and prosperous Commonwealth should be correctly delineated and set forth in tlio new edition of the Gazetteer, we confidently expect that its Editor will he favored with the necessary information, to enable him to do full justice to every portion ufthe Slate. Mr. Jknkinh has traveled extensively through most of (he counties, and has heen industrious in collecting materials from other sources; but cannot of course keep pace with the improvements which so rapidly succeed each other, or givo so correct a description of each -town, etc. as can be furnished by actual residents. IMPROVEMENT. The Siriiieltl Pioneer readied us yesterday in a new druea, aiid on an cnlarad shoot. This is an excellent paper; and we are gratified to notice, in its improved ai.'.ioaMiicc, a conclusive proof that the zeal and ability wild which it sup ports the cause of the people arc tluly appreciated by the patriotic citizens of Clark eoiii.'ty. We trust that tliif enlargement and improvement of their vuluublcr5iiTiial, will add to the iiruil, nu well as totlio usrulneis, of the worthy Editors and propri ctors. THE KNICKERBOCKER. We are indebted to the politeness of the pub lishers forappy of the September number of this valuable work; and deem it nu more than justice to observe, that it is at least cipial tn point of merit to any of those which have preceded it. For the information of those of our readers who are unacquainted with it, we may further Temark, that the Kiiielrerhoher issued monthly in tho city of New York, by .Messrs. Wii.ky & Long Messrs. (Ji.aiik 6: Epson, proprietorsat the rale of Five Dollars per annum; that the number before lis contains I2S ,'a.rgc octavo pages of excellent matter, besides 40 pages devoted to literary notices; that it is very neatly printed, and handsomely stitched and covered in fine, that, in point of merit, this work is equal to the best published in (ircal Britain, and at the same time much cheaper; and appears entirely worthy of the patronage of the friends of literature in this country. From the Ohio Review. DisTitini'TioN or the surplus revenue. The importance of this subject, and the conspicuous relation in which .Mr. Van lluren stands in regard to it, is our apology for its introduction in this place, nnd at Ibis lime. Luckily, we have his own words upon this important subject, giving his opinions to tho public, not upon hasty or nnprcmcditaled grounds, but after a long period of limo in which to mature them. The letter containing his opinions upon the propriety of distributing tho surplus revenue among the several Stales, was writlcn in answer to a letter addressed lo him by Shcrrod Williams, of Kentucky, dated April the 7th, 18:!0. After about three mouths deliberation. Van Buren replied, and in that reply is contained tho extract which we published last week. We givo below a paragraph from that extract, in order to have his sentiments fixed in the minds of our readers, that it shall at once be seen that we do nut misrepresent (hem. We wish to placo plain naked faels before our readers; hero then, mark them well, and then judge, " It is my firm conviction, tint nnv system by which a distribution ismndonnionn the Smics, of moneys col-lectcd by tho Federal trnvrrniuciit, would introduce vices into llic legislation of Imth governments, pmduc-tivoof themost injurious effects, ns well upon the host interests of the country, as upon the perpetuity of our political institutions. I sincerely hope, therefore, that the pood sense nnd patriotism of the American people hi. prevent the adoption of any inch in." Such are Van lluren's ( pinions, such aro his words upon this important and absorbing subject in which wo aro deeply interested. Notwithstanding his opposition to giving to the States such moneys nt are not needed in the Treasury of the II. States; mil withstanding the opposition of his most prominent political friends and advisers, such a bill was passed during tho last session of Congress, and approved and signed by Andrew Jackson, President of tho United States. In the Scualo thero were but SIX out of EOltTY-EIGIIT, who dared to oppose the otii, and in the House of Representatives, the number was proportionally small, and about half of those who did vole against the hill, were Van lluren members from the Slate of N. York. Before commenting upon this opposition of Van lluren, to tho rights and interest of the peo ple, we will givo the views uf Andrew Jackson, and William II. Harrison, upon the same sub ject. In Jackson's first annual message to Con gress, will be found his views expressed as fol lows: 11 To amid these evils it nppcars to me, that the most safe, just and federal disposition which could he made of the siT.ri.rs r.r.vr.M'E, would be its apportionment among the surreal States according lo Ike ratio of representation."Such aro the sentiments which Jackson com municated tu Congress in bis first .Message. v c next give Harrison s views upon the same subject. We published them nt length in our Il'Jd number, Those of our readers who have re tained a file of our paper, will do well to review them. J hey weto given in reply to tho same letter nf the same Mr. Sherrod Williams, that an lluren replied to. Embodied in Harrison's reply will bo found the following words! "That the immediate return of all the surplus money, which is or ought to bo in die Treasury of the United Stillest tu the possession of the people from whom it was lnkent is called for In- every principle of pnlic v, nnd indeed of safity to oar institutions." Here we see Jackson, at the commencement ol bis admiiiisl ration, recommending the "distribution of the so, plus revenue among the sev eral Males, and the Senate and Representatives uf the United States, passing a bill to distribute the surplus revenue among the Stales, and the same Andrew Jacltou approving and signing (ho same, and William II. Harrison, expressing the same views, and recommending the same inuasur. ; whilu Martin Van Huron, who pretends lo lie a democrat and a republican, and who pretends to love the people, and fullow in the footsteps of Jackson, oim'osi:n tub distui-iii i ion, and " hopes the pcoplo will prevent any such plan." Wc see Jackson recuiniuending the distribution of the surplus revenue amuug the Slates, " lo tumid these evils," and Harrison recommends the same as means of "safely loour instituliuiis." Ilul Van lluren opposes the measure, for fear it " will introduce vices into the legislation of both governments." Yes, the same measure which Jackson deems calculated to "avoid evils," and Harrison recommends as a measure of" safely," Van Huren condemns and opposes, through fear"it would introduce vices." Is be a republican, is he a democrat, who would keep the surplus revenue hoarded up in llic Treasury, accumulating millions on millions, year after year, in the vaults uf a few favorite Hanks, enriching the rich Stockholders, while lb great mass of the people aro to bo deprived of the benefit of itl of the benefit of that which is Ihetr ow n! Hues he love the puuplc who would enrich Hankers and Hrokers, at tho expense ol" the people! Docs he deserve tho confidence of the people, who has not sullicient Confidence in the people, to trust t lie-in ; lo intrust their Hep reseutatives with that which is their own, and with the management uf their own! From such democracy, from such republicanism, from such love of the people, wo ask to be delivered. If to oppose those measures recommended by Jackson, is following in I lie foutscps of Jackson, then docs Van Huron follow in the footsteps of Jackson. Itcailcr, if you think it best to have the public money retained where it is, go and vole for Van lluren. if you think it safer in the vaults of a few Hanks, placing the whole currency of the Union under their control, than it would bo to have it plaeeil at tho disposal of the people, go vole for Van lluren. If you think it unsafe and improper for the people to have that nhich is their own, go and vote lor Van Huren. This is no light and trivial matter. It combines grave and solemn considerations. an Huren "hopes the people will prevent any such plan," And how does he hope the people will prevent any such plan! He hopes that they will du it by i electing him President, that he may exercise the lulluenco of tlo.t station, to prevent that law which the people's Keprescnlatives have passed. anil the people s 1 resident has unproved. Uo collect be docs not inertly condemn llic distribu tion of the surplus revenue among the .Mates hut is determined to prevent it, is determined that, that law which has been passed, shall not be carried into ejjicl. es. he virtually asks the people lo eUcl him President, for the express purpose of depriving them of their own properly; withholding it from such uses as the) may deem best calculated to promote their prosperi ty, and benefit their respective Stales. On such grounds, he expecls lo rceeivu tho voles of the American people. Shall he receive them! Eel-low citizens, think of this subject. Ponder well upon it. Divest yourselves if you can. of all personal predilections and party feelings, 1 brow aside names, and he governed by principle. Look solely to (he wellaro of your country. Vim aro to decide this quest inn. whether the public moneys shall bo distributed among the .Stales, or not, by your voles at tho November election. Jackson early recommended the measure, and but a lew mouths sinco approved of it, and gave it the sanction or his name. Congress passed it into a law. Harrison thinks it important as regards tho safety of the Union: hut Van lluren is opposed to it, and "hopes the people will prevent any such plan," and asks you to voio lor mm lur the purpose. ill you du it! from llic Plilluili'lphin Commercial Herald. The political contest now going nn in (ha United Stalls, though conducted with less acri inony than has characterized somo former Pres idential campaigns, and though many poisons exhibit an indiUorence as lo its result, is una of tho most important that has ever occurred in this country. As to tho iii to question whether Judgo Whilo, (Juncral Harrison, or Mr. Van lluren shall bo President, that is a milter of very litl'o moment compared with tho question whether tho Chief Magistrate of our country shall ho allowed lo Humiliate his successor, nnd by the aid uf tho immense patronage in his possession, and an army of ollice-holders to bribe and dragoon tho people into bis support! If mis question ue sullied m the alfirtnalivc, by the election of Mr. Van Huron, wo may con-l i n no to have the forms of a Republic, as did Homo under Augustus Crosar, but our liberties will be virtually overturned, and the shadow of them that will be left will be but a mere mockery and not worth contending for. In all the Presidential elections heretofore, the candidates have all been men. of eminent talents, experienced statesman, and known to the people by the services they had rendered their country in stations of high trust: such were Washington, the elder and younger Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Clinton, .Monroe, Crawford, Jackson, Clay, Calhoun, Wirt, &c. These were all men of whom uur country had reason to be proud ; men who bad won distinction, not by fastening themselves to tho tail, or mounting upon the shoulders of some other distinguished man, but by their eloquence and their services. They were judged of by theirown intrinsic merits; their talents, their opinions and their services wero known to and appreciated by the people; they were no "mousing politicians," who avoided the light of day nnd worked their way in the dark; thero was no " noncoinmiltal-isin '" about them; their opinions were hnnostly formed and fearlessly expressed on all proper occasions! nor was " the patronage nf the Government mado to interfere with the freedom of elections" for their benefit. What, wo ask, would have been the clfect had Washington required of all those whom he had appointed to ollice, a virtual pledge thai llrcy would support Ills candidate, John Adams, for the Presidency as his successor! Willi all their veneration for him, and Ihcir gratitude, for his services in the field nnd in the cabinet, our fathers would have resisted such an assumption, and indignantly thrown oil' the chuckles thus attempted lo be imposed upon them as they did those of tienrge III. They had periled their lives and had shed their blood fur tho privilege of making their own laws and choosing their own rulers, and they were not tho men to submit to have their rights thus wrested from them, whatever their children may do. Such an experiment would not have been either safe or successful, on the part of W ASIIl NtiTON", however ii may turn out when tried by Jackson. Lcl it once be shown that the power vested In the hands of the President is sullicient tu Citable him to appoint his successor ilespito nf the people let it be shown tl at he can. with the aid of the treasury and the help of his olfico holders, iinposo upon the people a sueccsssor who is obnoxious to them, and the right of electing their rulers will hereafter he a right without a privilege a deed without land, We believe with Mr. Wise, that if there were no other nhjetions to the election of .Mr. Van Huren lo the Presidency, that of his being tho avowed pet of the present incumbent, and his being supported by those who hold olliccs Under (he Government, in a body, and as a corps, are enough, We should resist dictation from the President in this matter, even if what ho commando be in ituisnn with our previously formed wishes. Had Mr. Monroe used the same means to secure the election uf Mr. Adams that aro now used to secure that of Mr. Van lluren. the ouuntrv would have risen in arms; much as the people respected him ho Would have felt the weight of their just in dignation: and why should (ion. Jackson be permitted to do what no other President ever cbciuj dared to do! From the .Votionol Bonner. TT.NNKSSUi: EUECT. Knoiigh has transpired since tho President's arrival among tis to autbori.u the statement, that bis experiment uu the independence ul the people ol leuuessee has resulted in a disconi fitiire as signal as it is inglorious. On Saturday last we bad the pleasure of being present at a public il inner, given at Carthage, by a portion of his consl iliiculs ol Muiitli county, to Ibe Hon. IIai.ii: I'uvto.v. Although several circumstances occurred lo prevent as general uu attendance as would otherwise havo taken place, nol lc:s than one thousand nf tho hone nnd sinew of the county were present on the occasion. It is impossible lo describe the unanimity and cuthii siasui w hich prevailed, .ul a dissenting voice was beard. All seemed to be actuated by one spirit ul determined resistance to I'.xeeui ivo in terlerence iu the exercise uf t licir const i In I ion al rights. The address of Mr. IYytdx was charactcris tic. Now ho inelle.1 his audience into tears then iv, 111 bis inimitable ridicule he convulsed them wilb laughter, and anon, ho woul I elicit shouts of indignation nt the outrage attempted on tho freedom of cloel ions. After staling that the President of the United Stales, al llic head of a hundred thousand olUce-ludders, was in the fi c-1 J , openly electioneering for .Mr. Van Huron, ho solemnly put the question to them, whether they would tamely surrender (he elective fran chiso at tho footstool of Kxeculivo power! A thousand vnices responded, "novor, never!" "Wo will die first," was heard from different quarters uf the nseinblage. And this is the feeling not only of Smith coitnl y, which, hy the way, has nlways been one nf tho strongest Jaehson counties in tho State, but of the great mass uf the people of Tennessee. They feel that an insult has bcrnollercd to Ihcir independence that an nulrage has hetn attempted nn their rights, and they seek not to disguiso their resentment. Mr. Pkvton. stated that this "summer cam. paign" of the President's in Tennessee, was publicly talked of at Washington before the adjournment of Cong.ess, and that ho was frequently asked whether the Slato would bo able 10 maintain the stand it had taken in rcferenco to the Presidential election! The State of Tennessee able to maintain its position against tho wish-esnf oiicinaii! How humiliating that sued n doubt should ever have been entertained that such a question should ever havo heen asked! Yes, the fiee in en uf Tennessee have not only withstood the shock, hut they are rulling it back with ir-rcsislible power. From this time "the parly" may be considered as annihilated in Tennessee. They will not he able to muster even a respectable opposition -in numbers wo mean to the While ticket; so strung has been the revulsion occasioned in the public feeling by the extraordinary course uf tho Chief Magistrate of the Uniun. The "summer campaign" in Tennessee ttiniB out to be ureal Florida, affair. CIRCULAR. To Editors, Postmasters, and others, in the several towns of the State of Ohio. (E.VTLr.MrN :- Having undertaken to compile for the press a new edition of the Ohio Gazetteer, and having bestowed much labor and time upon the subject, I desire to render tho work ns perfect ns the nature of the caso will permit. To do this, I find it absolutely necessary to solicit contributions from gentlemen located in the several towns nnd counties throughout the State; anil for tho purpose of obtaining such information, I have heretofore dispatched a Circular to each and every Postmaster ill the State, so far ns I could obtain the name of his ollice I nnd I lake great pleasure in saying, that very ninny gentlemen havo promptly replied, nml given the desired information. There nre, however, n Inrge proportion of the olfices yet unheard from; nml the object of this Circular is to request, that Postmasters who have not received, or who have not vet answered the communication referred to, will, without delay, givo me a brief description of their town or village, il located nt n town; or if not, then the locution of their Post-ollice, nnd n general description of the country in its vicinity; giving, in all oases, the distances and courses to the surrounding towns, and to the city of Columbus. Editors will nlso contribute much to aid the work, by giving ibis Circular an immediate insertion in their columns, and thereby greatly obligo one who for ninny years was n fellow-laborer with them. I would further suggest to the several Editors throughout the .State, that n brief statistical statement, published in their columns, and one ropy forwarded lo inc, would perhaps be the host possible method of giving correct information, nnd would be equally gratifying to me nnd lo their renders generally. Should any other gentlemen have leisure to nddreps inc a line, giving mo any information which they may deem important, I assure 'them it will be thankful, ly received nnd duly appreciated. As it is very desirable that each and every town, township, citv, and county, should be correctly described, nn I its relative position nnd importance accurately given, it Is to he hoped that one or more co'uuiunicaiions will he received from encli. It being the intention of ibe Publisher to put the work to press ns soon alter the 1st of October ns ) 'S sible, it is hoped that information will be promptly for warded, WARREN JENKINS.

The attention of our renders, nnil especially of our Editorial brethren, is rcpcctfully solicited lo a Circular from Waiihkn Jenkins, Esq., of this cily, nhich may be found in another column. We regard the work in which lie is engaged, as one of great interest to the politic generally; and from our own experience can testify, tint the task he has undertaken is arduous, and cannot be performed satisfactorily without the assistance and co-operation of well-informed nnd intelligent men in every part of the State. It is to be hoped, thercforo, that the citizens of any city or town from which no information shall he received, will find no fault with the forth coming Volume should those places be overlooked, or improperly noticed. As it is desirable that the immense resources, and giant strides, of this great and prosperous Commonwealth should be correctly delineated and set forth in tlio new edition of the Gazetteer, we confidently expect that its Editor will he favored with the necessary information, to enable him to do full justice to every portion ufthe Slate. Mr. Jknkinh has traveled extensively through most of (he counties, and has heen industrious in collecting materials from other sources; but cannot of course keep pace with the improvements which so rapidly succeed each other, or givo so correct a description of each -town, etc. as can be furnished by actual residents. IMPROVEMENT. The Siriiieltl Pioneer readied us yesterday in a new druea, aiid on an cnlarad shoot. This is an excellent paper; and we are gratified to notice, in its improved ai.'.ioaMiicc, a conclusive proof that the zeal and ability wild which it sup ports the cause of the people arc tluly appreciated by the patriotic citizens of Clark eoiii.'ty. We trust that tliif enlargement and improvement of their vuluublcr5iiTiial, will add to the iiruil, nu well as totlio usrulneis, of the worthy Editors and propri ctors. THE KNICKERBOCKER. We are indebted to the politeness of the pub lishers forappy of the September number of this valuable work; and deem it nu more than justice to observe, that it is at least cipial tn point of merit to any of those which have preceded it. For the information of those of our readers who are unacquainted with it, we may further Temark, that the Kiiielrerhoher issued monthly in tho city of New York, by .Messrs. Wii.ky & Long Messrs. (Ji.aiik 6: Epson, proprietorsat the rale of Five Dollars per annum; that the number before lis contains I2S ,'a.rgc octavo pages of excellent matter, besides 40 pages devoted to literary notices; that it is very neatly printed, and handsomely stitched and covered in fine, that, in point of merit, this work is equal to the best published in (ircal Britain, and at the same time much cheaper; and appears entirely worthy of the patronage of the friends of literature in this country. From the Ohio Review. DisTitini'TioN or the surplus revenue. The importance of this subject, and the conspicuous relation in which .Mr. Van lluren stands in regard to it, is our apology for its introduction in this place, nnd at Ibis lime. Luckily, we have his own words upon this important subject, giving his opinions to tho public, not upon hasty or nnprcmcditaled grounds, but after a long period of limo in which to mature them. The letter containing his opinions upon the propriety of distributing tho surplus revenue among the several Stales, was writlcn in answer to a letter addressed lo him by Shcrrod Williams, of Kentucky, dated April the 7th, 18:!0. After about three mouths deliberation. Van Buren replied, and in that reply is contained tho extract which we published last week. We givo below a paragraph from that extract, in order to have his sentiments fixed in the minds of our readers, that it shall at once be seen that we do nut misrepresent (hem. We wish to placo plain naked faels before our readers; hero then, mark them well, and then judge, " It is my firm conviction, tint nnv system by which a distribution ismndonnionn the Smics, of moneys col-lectcd by tho Federal trnvrrniuciit, would introduce vices into llic legislation of Imth governments, pmduc-tivoof themost injurious effects, ns well upon the host interests of the country, as upon the perpetuity of our political institutions. I sincerely hope, therefore, that the pood sense nnd patriotism of the American people hi. prevent the adoption of any inch in." Such are Van lluren's ( pinions, such aro his words upon this important and absorbing subject in which wo aro deeply interested. Notwithstanding his opposition to giving to the States such moneys nt are not needed in the Treasury of the II. States; mil withstanding the opposition of his most prominent political friends and advisers, such a bill was passed during tho last session of Congress, and approved and signed by Andrew Jackson, President of tho United States. In the Scualo thero were but SIX out of EOltTY-EIGIIT, who dared to oppose the otii, and in the House of Representatives, the number was proportionally small, and about half of those who did vole against the hill, were Van lluren members from the Slate of N. York. Before commenting upon this opposition of Van lluren, to tho rights and interest of the peo ple, we will givo the views uf Andrew Jackson, and William II. Harrison, upon the same sub ject. In Jackson's first annual message to Con gress, will be found his views expressed as fol lows: 11 To amid these evils it nppcars to me, that the most safe, just and federal disposition which could he made of the siT.ri.rs r.r.vr.M'E, would be its apportionment among the surreal States according lo Ike ratio of representation."Such aro the sentiments which Jackson com municated tu Congress in bis first .Message. v c next give Harrison s views upon the same subject. We published them nt length in our Il'Jd number, Those of our readers who have re tained a file of our paper, will do well to review them. J hey weto given in reply to tho same letter nf the same Mr. Sherrod Williams, that an lluren replied to. Embodied in Harrison's reply will bo found the following words! "That the immediate return of all the surplus money, which is or ought to bo in die Treasury of the United Stillest tu the possession of the people from whom it was lnkent is called for In- every principle of pnlic v, nnd indeed of safity to oar institutions." Here we see Jackson, at the commencement ol bis admiiiisl ration, recommending the "distribution of the so, plus revenue among the sev eral Males, and the Senate and Representatives uf the United States, passing a bill to distribute the surplus revenue among the Stales, and the same Andrew Jacltou approving and signing (ho same, and William II. Harrison, expressing the same views, and recommending the same inuasur. ; whilu Martin Van Huron, who pretends lo lie a democrat and a republican, and who pretends to love the people, and fullow in the footsteps of Jackson, oim'osi:n tub distui-iii i ion, and " hopes the pcoplo will prevent any such plan." Wc see Jackson recuiniuending the distribution of the surplus revenue amuug the Slates, " lo tumid these evils," and Harrison recommends the same as means of "safely loour instituliuiis." Ilul Van lluren opposes the measure, for fear it " will introduce vices into the legislation of both governments." Yes, the same measure which Jackson deems calculated to "avoid evils," and Harrison recommends as a measure of" safely," Van Huren condemns and opposes, through fear"it would introduce vices." Is be a republican, is he a democrat, who would keep the surplus revenue hoarded up in llic Treasury, accumulating millions on millions, year after year, in the vaults uf a few favorite Hanks, enriching the rich Stockholders, while lb great mass of the people aro to bo deprived of the benefit of itl of the benefit of that which is Ihetr ow n! Hues he love the puuplc who would enrich Hankers and Hrokers, at tho expense ol" the people! Docs he deserve tho confidence of the people, who has not sullicient Confidence in the people, to trust t lie-in ; lo intrust their Hep reseutatives with that which is their own, and with the management uf their own! From such democracy, from such republicanism, from such love of the people, wo ask to be delivered. If to oppose those measures recommended by Jackson, is following in I lie foutscps of Jackson, then docs Van Huron follow in the footsteps of Jackson. Itcailcr, if you think it best to have the public money retained where it is, go and vole for Van lluren. if you think it safer in the vaults of a few Hanks, placing the whole currency of the Union under their control, than it would bo to have it plaeeil at tho disposal of the people, go vole for Van lluren. If you think it unsafe and improper for the people to have that nhich is their own, go and vote lor Van Huren. This is no light and trivial matter. It combines grave and solemn considerations. an Huren "hopes the people will prevent any such plan," And how does he hope the people will prevent any such plan! He hopes that they will du it by i electing him President, that he may exercise the lulluenco of tlo.t station, to prevent that law which the people's Keprescnlatives have passed. anil the people s 1 resident has unproved. Uo collect be docs not inertly condemn llic distribu tion of the surplus revenue among the .Mates hut is determined to prevent it, is determined that, that law which has been passed, shall not be carried into ejjicl. es. he virtually asks the people lo eUcl him President, for the express purpose of depriving them of their own properly; withholding it from such uses as the) may deem best calculated to promote their prosperi ty, and benefit their respective Stales. On such grounds, he expecls lo rceeivu tho voles of the American people. Shall he receive them! Eel-low citizens, think of this subject. Ponder well upon it. Divest yourselves if you can. of all personal predilections and party feelings, 1 brow aside names, and he governed by principle. Look solely to (he wellaro of your country. Vim aro to decide this quest inn. whether the public moneys shall bo distributed among the .Stales, or not, by your voles at tho November election. Jackson early recommended the measure, and but a lew mouths sinco approved of it, and gave it the sanction or his name. Congress passed it into a law. Harrison thinks it important as regards tho safety of the Union: hut Van lluren is opposed to it, and "hopes the people will prevent any such plan," and asks you to voio lor mm lur the purpose. ill you du it! from llic Plilluili'lphin Commercial Herald. The political contest now going nn in (ha United Stalls, though conducted with less acri inony than has characterized somo former Pres idential campaigns, and though many poisons exhibit an indiUorence as lo its result, is una of tho most important that has ever occurred in this country. As to tho iii to question whether Judgo Whilo, (Juncral Harrison, or Mr. Van lluren shall bo President, that is a milter of very litl'o moment compared with tho question whether tho Chief Magistrate of our country shall ho allowed lo Humiliate his successor, nnd by the aid uf tho immense patronage in his possession, and an army of ollice-holders to bribe and dragoon tho people into bis support! If mis question ue sullied m the alfirtnalivc, by the election of Mr. Van Huron, wo may con-l i n no to have the forms of a Republic, as did Homo under Augustus Crosar, but our liberties will be virtually overturned, and the shadow of them that will be left will be but a mere mockery and not worth contending for. In all the Presidential elections heretofore, the candidates have all been men. of eminent talents, experienced statesman, and known to the people by the services they had rendered their country in stations of high trust: such were Washington, the elder and younger Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Clinton, .Monroe, Crawford, Jackson, Clay, Calhoun, Wirt, &c. These were all men of whom uur country had reason to be proud ; men who bad won distinction, not by fastening themselves to tho tail, or mounting upon the shoulders of some other distinguished man, but by their eloquence and their services. They were judged of by theirown intrinsic merits; their talents, their opinions and their services wero known to and appreciated by the people; they were no "mousing politicians," who avoided the light of day nnd worked their way in the dark; thero was no " noncoinmiltal-isin '" about them; their opinions were hnnostly formed and fearlessly expressed on all proper occasions! nor was " the patronage nf the Government mado to interfere with the freedom of elections" for their benefit. What, wo ask, would have been the clfect had Washington required of all those whom he had appointed to ollice, a virtual pledge thai llrcy would support Ills candidate, John Adams, for the Presidency as his successor! Willi all their veneration for him, and Ihcir gratitude, for his services in the field nnd in the cabinet, our fathers would have resisted such an assumption, and indignantly thrown oil' the chuckles thus attempted lo be imposed upon them as they did those of tienrge III. They had periled their lives and had shed their blood fur tho privilege of making their own laws and choosing their own rulers, and they were not tho men to submit to have their rights thus wrested from them, whatever their children may do. Such an experiment would not have been either safe or successful, on the part of W ASIIl NtiTON", however ii may turn out when tried by Jackson. Lcl it once be shown that the power vested In the hands of the President is sullicient tu Citable him to appoint his successor ilespito nf the people let it be shown tl at he can. with the aid of the treasury and the help of his olfico holders, iinposo upon the people a sueccsssor who is obnoxious to them, and the right of electing their rulers will hereafter he a right without a privilege a deed without land, We believe with Mr. Wise, that if there were no other nhjetions to the election of .Mr. Van Huren lo the Presidency, that of his being tho avowed pet of the present incumbent, and his being supported by those who hold olliccs Under (he Government, in a body, and as a corps, are enough, We should resist dictation from the President in this matter, even if what ho commando be in ituisnn with our previously formed wishes. Had Mr. Monroe used the same means to secure the election uf Mr. Adams that aro now used to secure that of Mr. Van lluren. the ouuntrv would have risen in arms; much as the people respected him ho Would have felt the weight of their just in dignation: and why should (ion. Jackson be permitted to do what no other President ever cbciuj dared to do! From the .Votionol Bonner. TT.NNKSSUi: EUECT. Knoiigh has transpired since tho President's arrival among tis to autbori.u the statement, that bis experiment uu the independence ul the people ol leuuessee has resulted in a disconi fitiire as signal as it is inglorious. On Saturday last we bad the pleasure of being present at a public il inner, given at Carthage, by a portion of his consl iliiculs ol Muiitli county, to Ibe Hon. IIai.ii: I'uvto.v. Although several circumstances occurred lo prevent as general uu attendance as would otherwise havo taken place, nol lc:s than one thousand nf tho hone nnd sinew of the county were present on the occasion. It is impossible lo describe the unanimity and cuthii siasui w hich prevailed, .ul a dissenting voice was beard. All seemed to be actuated by one spirit ul determined resistance to I'.xeeui ivo in terlerence iu the exercise uf t licir const i In I ion al rights. The address of Mr. IYytdx was charactcris tic. Now ho inelle.1 his audience into tears then iv, 111 bis inimitable ridicule he convulsed them wilb laughter, and anon, ho woul I elicit shouts of indignation nt the outrage attempted on tho freedom of cloel ions. After staling that the President of the United Stales, al llic head of a hundred thousand olUce-ludders, was in the fi c-1 J , openly electioneering for .Mr. Van Huron, ho solemnly put the question to them, whether they would tamely surrender (he elective fran chiso at tho footstool of Kxeculivo power! A thousand vnices responded, "novor, never!" "Wo will die first," was heard from different quarters uf the nseinblage. And this is the feeling not only of Smith coitnl y, which, hy the way, has nlways been one nf tho strongest Jaehson counties in tho State, but of the great mass uf the people of Tennessee. They feel that an insult has bcrnollercd to Ihcir independence that an nulrage has hetn attempted nn their rights, and they seek not to disguiso their resentment. Mr. Pkvton. stated that this "summer cam. paign" of the President's in Tennessee, was publicly talked of at Washington before the adjournment of Cong.ess, and that ho was frequently asked whether the Slato would bo able 10 maintain the stand it had taken in rcferenco to the Presidential election! The State of Tennessee able to maintain its position against tho wish-esnf oiicinaii! How humiliating that sued n doubt should ever have been entertained that such a question should ever havo heen asked! Yes, the fiee in en uf Tennessee have not only withstood the shock, hut they are rulling it back with ir-rcsislible power. From this time "the parly" may be considered as annihilated in Tennessee. They will not he able to muster even a respectable opposition -in numbers wo mean to the While ticket; so strung has been the revulsion occasioned in the public feeling by the extraordinary course uf tho Chief Magistrate of the Uniun. The "summer campaign" in Tennessee ttiniB out to be ureal Florida, affair. CIRCULAR. To Editors, Postmasters, and others, in the several towns of the State of Ohio. (E.VTLr.MrN :- Having undertaken to compile for the press a new edition of the Ohio Gazetteer, and having bestowed much labor and time upon the subject, I desire to render tho work ns perfect ns the nature of the caso will permit. To do this, I find it absolutely necessary to solicit contributions from gentlemen located in the several towns nnd counties throughout the State; anil for tho purpose of obtaining such information, I have heretofore dispatched a Circular to each and every Postmaster ill the State, so far ns I could obtain the name of his ollice I nnd I lake great pleasure in saying, that very ninny gentlemen havo promptly replied, nml given the desired information. There nre, however, n Inrge proportion of the olfices yet unheard from; nml the object of this Circular is to request, that Postmasters who have not received, or who have not vet answered the communication referred to, will, without delay, givo me a brief description of their town or village, il located nt n town; or if not, then the locution of their Post-ollice, nnd n general description of the country in its vicinity; giving, in all oases, the distances and courses to the surrounding towns, and to the city of Columbus. Editors will nlso contribute much to aid the work, by giving ibis Circular an immediate insertion in their columns, and thereby greatly obligo one who for ninny years was n fellow-laborer with them. I would further suggest to the several Editors throughout the .State, that n brief statistical statement, published in their columns, and one ropy forwarded lo inc, would perhaps be the host possible method of giving correct information, nnd would be equally gratifying to me nnd lo their renders generally. Should any other gentlemen have leisure to nddreps inc a line, giving mo any information which they may deem important, I assure 'them it will be thankful, ly received nnd duly appreciated. As it is very desirable that each and every town, township, citv, and county, should be correctly described, nn I its relative position nnd importance accurately given, it Is to he hoped that one or more co'uuiunicaiions will he received from encli.
